Artist in the Classroom: David Eddy

Professional Artist David Eddy stopped by & talked to both 7th grade classes today. David is a painter who's work is shown in galleries nation wide. His art is playful, yet moody. Primitive, yet sophisticated. Emotional figurative abstractions of color play. The students love seeing his work & hearing his talk & had very intelligent and thoughtful questions for David.

Exciting New Project!

The current 5th graders are doing a special art project with PROJECT SPROUT! They spent a few days in the farm drawing vegetables in the garden with watercolor pencils. After that, they designed their paper into a giant seed packet featuring their veggies, along with a price, title of their veggie & a Project Sprout logo. The last step was taking a wet paintbrush to turn the watercolor pencil drwings into a painting. I'll post one of the finished ones below. We plan to have an art reception with Project Sprout sometime in November & we welcome all parents, students, staff & community members to attend. I'll be updating you soon with the rest of the artwork & details of the upcoming art show.

Tints & Shades Op Art

6th graders learned about & mixed their own tints, shades & hues. They then had to create an op art work of art with small, medium and large shapes that they cut out and stacked with spacers. The black background makes everything POP!
